Review of operations

Operations Review

Drake has maintained its interest in the tenements making up the Sulitjelma Copper Zinc Project, Joma-Gjersvik Copper-Zinc

Project and Granmuren nickel-copper Project in good standing since 2016 and has where necessary applied for renewal of

relevant tenements. The Company is awaiting confirmation of the renewal of one of its tenements, Tullsta nr 1, but expects to

receive this in due course.

The Company released a Notice of Meeting in relation to its proposed capital raising and recapitalisation. Reinstatement of the

Company’s securities to trading on ASX will be subject to completion of the capital raising.

Subject to successful completion of the capital raising, Drake proposes to devote a total amount of up to approximately

$500,000 to evaluation and exploration activities in respect of its three base metal projects during 2017. The exact amount of

exploration expenditure will depend on, among other things, access to funds, exploration results, and any other financial

commitments. (The expenditure under the 2017 program can be carried out regardless of when the renewal of the Tullsta nr 1

tenement area is received ,and the amount, if any, that it commits to the Joma joint venture.)

A summary of the Company’s activities on these projects and its proposed exploration activities in respect of each of them is set

out below.

SULITJELMA COPPER ZINC PROJECT

Introduction

In 2010 Drake entered an alliance to identify, explore and develop base and precious metal opportunities. The primary focus of

the alliance was Scandinavia.

In November, 2010 Drake and its then alliance partner entered a joint venture in the well mineralised Sulitjelma base metal

district in central northern Norway. The Sulitjelma Mines have historically produced 25 Mt mined from 11 deposits between

1887 and 1991 with average grades of 1.84% Cu, 0.86% Zn, 10g/t Ag and 0.25g/t Au. (Source: Norwegian Geological Survey).

Part of the remaining resources was held by a Norwegian group, but it was considered that substantial areas with known

massive sulphide mineralisation, or potential for massive sulphides, to be on open ground.

The Sulitjelma permits held by Drake total 12 km2. These were renewed in January, 2017, at a cost of $1,000 per permit. These

permits are currently in Year 7 of their life. Exploration permits may be renewed for up 10 years from the original grant date.

The area had not been significantly explored since the 1980’s when a DIGHEM survey was flown.

The limited geophysical, geological and geochemical data gathered in Trondheim was compiled and a total of 6 target areas

were identified for more detailed review. These areas generally have outcropping massive sulphides and in some cases do not

appear to have been surveyed geophysically.

Drake and its then joint venture partner commenced a Joint Venture program of VTEM surveying, mapping and

lithogeochemistry to define targets.

The Company’s joint venture partner withdrew from the Alliance and Joint Venture in 2016 because of low nickel prices and

other exploration priorities.

Exploration results

A VTEM airborne electromagnetic survey completed in 2014 identified a number of strong anomalies. A ground based

electromagnetic (EM) geophysics survey was conducted over priority copper/zinc targets identified from the 2014 VTEM

program. As a result of the EM survey 6 targets remain viable copper/zinc targets warranting drill testing (Fig 1).

Four targets of interest lie within the western thrust ore field which is an area of known massive sulphide mineralisation

mapped over ~10kms (Fig. 1). This area hosts the Sagmo (1.9Mt mined at 1.6% Cu and 0.23% Zn (Source: Norwegian Geological

Survey) and the Jakobsbakken (4.47Mt mined at 1.55% Cu and 2.42% Zn (Source: Norwegian Geological Survey) historic

orebodies.

In the eastern Nordgruvefeltet region, an extensive conductive horizon with a strike length in excess of 5kms coincident with a

copper / zinc bearing sulphide horizon has been mapped which contains two priority anomalies.

Figure1: Sulitjelma Project: VTEM plus anomalies (Note: the permit boundaries are those when the survey was completed

in 2014).

Anomaly 1 The VTEM survey completed in 2015 identified a 2km x 600m wide east-west lensoid anomaly with an east-west

orientation that parallels the near-by Sagmo mine. The recently completed EM has better defined the area of interest to a large

conductor 1300mx1100m. This conductor is located ~100m immediately above the Avilon Stoll access drive and historic

workings (Fig 2), and may represent mineralisation unsuspected by the past miners. Therefore has excellent infrastructure if

mineralisation of economic interest is revealed here.

Anomaly 4 occurs near an area of known massive sulphide mineralisation with nearby mines of Gudrun and Ny Sulitjelma, the

latter producing 2.59Mt @ 1.99% Cu and 0.55% Zn (Source: Norwegian Geological Survey).

Anomalies 8 and 13 also present encouraging similarities with the near-by historic mines. The Anna mine located very close to

anomaly 8 with historic production of 0.25Mt @ 3.86% Cu (Source: Norwegian Geological Survey).

Anomaly 12 produced a similar size EM plate on the other side of the old Sagmo mine and also has a similar geometry. Historic

drilling nearby has intercepted copper mineralisation at target depths

Two targets of interest lie within the eastern Nordgruvefeltet region.

Anomaly 3 occurs at the eastern extreme of the Drake portfolio (Fig 3). Field mapping to the west of the anomaly confirmed

the presence of outcropping massive sulphides and dump samples from old workings and composite chip samples generated

results including 10.7% copper and 15.1% zinc.

Figure 3; Anomaly 3 VTEM image. Most anomalous result occurring in the south west (orange/red). Massive sulphide

outcrops as red lines.

A field checking program was conducted to appraise VTEM anomalism not tested by ground EM and to further appraise specific

targets generated from the recently completed VTEM and ground EM surveys. The objective of the program was to also assess

the limits and grades of sulphide outcrop as preparatory work for drilling. Selected grab samples (Table 1) were also collected

from mine dumps of the now closed Bursi, Ny Sulitjelma and Jakobsbakken Mines to support other field observations and

characterise the elemental signature associated with regional mineralisation.

Other targets in the area are the Eastern Ore Field which hosts the mines of Gudrun and Ny Sulitjelma, the latter producing

2.59Mt @ 1.99% Cu and 0.55% Zn (Source: Norwegian Geological Survey). Field mapping near the most southern priority

anomaly of the eastern arm confirmed the presence of outcropping massive sulphides and dump samples from old workings

and composite chip samples generated results including 10.7% copper and 15.1% zinc;

All samples contained Cu/Zn mineralisation and most results support general assumptions regarding copper/zinc distribution

and previous production at the Sulitjelma ore field, with the exception being sample SJV0016 which recorded >10%Lead and

645g/t Silver (Ag).

Sulitjelma field programs returned up to 0.76% Cu and 0.32% Zn from outcrop and individual mine dump grab sample results of

up to 4.4% Cu, 1.7% Zn, >10% Pb and 645g/t Ag (Table 1).

JOMA-GJERSVIK COPPER-ZINC PROJECT, NORWAY

Drake holds two areas of prospective copper-zinc ground in the Grong District in Norway, known as Joma-Gjersvik (Fig. 4).

Twelve (12) square kilometres of the ground is held within a JV with Joma-Naeringspark (JNJV), the business arm of the regional

Kommun. The license area holds two decommissioned mines with significant residual mineralisation remaining from past

production events. Drake’s initial interest in the district commenced in 2013.

Previous production at Joma (1972-1998), which sits within the JNJV, was 11.5 million tonnes of ore at 1.49% copper and 1.45%

zinc (Source: Norwegian Geological Survey). Production from Gjersvik, which sits with the 100% Drake license area, was

500,000 tonnes of ore grading 2.15% copper and 0.6% zinc that was processed at the Joma based copper/zinc float circuit near

the end of its production life in 1998.

Figure 4: Location of the Joma Copper Zinc Project in the Joma-Gjersvik area, Norway. (Note: permit boundaries as at 1 January 2015).

Regional and Local Geological Setting

Joma lies within the Koli Thrust Complex which has more than 20 mapped copper/zinc occurrence recorded within ~80km of

the Joma site. There is the possibility of Joma becoming a central processing hub for numerous copper deposits within the

region and potential for recommissioning the mine based on the economics of the residual mineralization in a more favorable

economic climate.

The Joma deposit consists of an en echelon array of massive sulphide lenses between two major pillowed volcanics in an

overturned limb of a major isoclinal fold. The individual lenses vary greatly in thickness and length with the massive zone

attaining a maximum thickness of about 50m. The orebody forms a folded, plate-like body that dips steeply to the west-

southwest from surface and flattens out at depth. The bottom of the orebody appears to be truncated by a thrust fault. The

northern and eastern parts of the orebody outcrop and the orebody at depth has been defined by surface and underground

drilling. The ore has been mined from a small open pit and from underground workings, both of which are now flooded.

There is an extensive amount of historical data – assays and Specific Gravity measurements from surface and underground drill

holes (Figure 4), sections through mine workings and information on geology and structure.

Mineralisation

Drake investigated the Joma residual mineralisation as part of near term production opportunity. Joma surface float grab

sample returned a result of 2.73% Copper, 0.04% Zinc and 41g/t Ag. Results of re-sampling of historic core are set out in Table 3

and include:

5.44m @ 5.7% Cu and 0.93% Zn from drill hole 683, and

Drake commissioned Dr Chris Gee to review and interpret data available for the Joma mine including 173 surface holes and

2809 underground drill holes producing over 24,000 samples assayed for Cu, Zn and Specific Gravity. Dr Gee’s assessment has

generated wireframes of the mineralised zones and mined out areas and a block model to produce an Exploration Target and a

suite of recommendations necessary if the residual mineralisation is to be upgraded to a Mineral Resource in the future. Drake

initiated a program to address a particular recommendation concerning an absence of original QA/QC data with a preliminary

re-sampling of historic core.

The studies resulted in the estimation of an Exploration Target of 4-10Mt grading 1-2% Cu and 1.5-2.5% Zn.. There also may be

Residual ore at the Gjersvik Mine (previous production – 0.5Mt @ 2.15%Cu, 0.50%Zn). Geophysics Targets exist in immediate

vicinity of Joma as well. Drill Target One anomaly is 150% larger than the Joma anomaly which represented 20Mt of

mineralisation (Fig.6). Note that the potential quantity and grade of the mineralisation in the Exploration Target is conceptual in

nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource, and is uncertain that further exploration will

result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource. The currently contemplated exploration activities in respect of this project for

2017 are set out below. Further exploration than that contemplated for 2017 is likely to be necessary to provide sufficient data

to fully test the validity of the Exploration Target.

Figure 5: Mineralised zone of the Joma deposit, looking north.

Exploration Targets

Drake’s geophysical investigations of the larger Joma permit area over recent years have identified a number of significant

untested anomalies (Figure 6). A target to the northwest of the decommissioned Joma copper-zinc mine (Target 1) is of

particular interest given its geophysical signature is analogous with that of the mine ore body. A second target has a similar

magnetic signature (Target 10) and another gravity feature to the northeast of the Joma mine does not appear to have been

previously tested.

Exploration drilling around the orebody has closed off the potential for any major extensions to the Joma main orebody. The

southern orebody (SudMalmen) occurs as a number of thin, higher grade intersections about 500m south of the main orebody.

Some additional potential exists here but intersections are semi-coherent and not as thick or as high grade as those in the main

orebody.

Program

Joma

Drake originally entered into a JV with Joma-Naeringspark, the business arm of the regional Kommun, in 2012 (the JNJV). The

area subject to the JNJV consisted of 2 Exploration Permits held by Joma Naeringspark covering 12 km2 of the ground

immediately surrounding the historic Joma mine (the Joma Mine Exploration Permits). Under the terms of the original JV

agreement, the Joma Mine Exploration Permits would be held for the benefit of Drake while Drake carried out an exploration

program over them. Drake would have the right to apply for an Extraction Permit in respect of the relevant area in its sole name

at the end of the period for exploration, subject to paying a royalty to Joma Naeringspark.

The exploration period under the JNJV has ended and Drake has not elected to apply for an Extraction Permit in its sole name. A

proposal is now being discussed between Drake and Joma Naeringspark whereby a joint venture company (JVCo) will be

incorporated in Norway to hold the Joma deposit and surrounding ground. Joma Naeringspark will hold 51% of the JVCo, and

Drake will hold 49%. Drake will have to complete the following program to complete its earn in of a 49% interest in the JVCo:

Fund part of the application to convert the Joma Mine Exploration Permits to an Extraction Permit.

Drill test the priority Target 1 at Joma.

The full cost of drill testing priority Target 1, which Drake would have to fund, has not yet been agreed between Drake and

Joma Naeringspark. Drake has not finally committed to continuing to participate with Joma Naeringspark in the JVCo on this

basis. If Drake elects not to proceed with forming the JVCo and earning in for 49% as set out above, it will cease to have an

interest in the area covered by the Joma Mine Exploration Permits.

Gjersvik

In the event that Drake does not continue to hold an interest via JV in Joma with Joma Naeringspark, Drake will continue to

hold a 100% interest in the Exploration Permits Grong 8 and 9 over the rest of the Gjersvik area until 15 March 2018.

Drake has developed a dialogue with the owners of copper and zinc resources within trucking distance of Joma. One example

that Drake announced was a potential arrangement with the owners of the Stekenjokk mine in Sweden close to the Norwegian

border. This and other resources are potential future options for Joma.

Granmuren nickel-copper Project, Sweden

Introduction

Granmuren is Drake’s greenfield nickel, copper, cobalt discovery in the heart of the Bergslagen district of Sweden which has a

very long and significant mining history. The area has excellent infrastructure with rail, road and power nearby (Figure 7).

Granmuren is interpreted as ‘Voisey’s Bay style mineralisation’, a substantial intrusion of massive and disseminated sulphides,

mainly pyrrhotite, pentlandite and chalcopyrite hosted in gabbros and norites. Mineralisation occurs from near surface, has

been traced over 330m, and remains open at depth.

Scandinavia and the adjoining Karelia Province in north-west Russia is one of the major nickel-copper provinces of the world. It

includes the giant Pechenga deposit in Karelia, Anglo-American’s recent Sakatti discovery and First Quantum’s Kevitsa Project,

both in Finland (Figure 7). Granmuren is an extension of the Svecofennian province which has played a long and significant part

of Finland’s smelting and refining success. Scandinavian operations are both open pit and underground with typical grades of

0.25% to 1.0% nickel.

Figure 7: Granmuren details of the nickel projects and operations (Note: permit boundaries as at 1 January, 2016).

The best direct detection technique for the mineralisation style and the terrain is unquestionably electromagnetic surveying.

Mineralisation

Mineralisation at Granmuren occurs from near surface, has been tracked down to about 330m depth, and remains open.

Mineralised zones tend to occur as long intersections of lower grade material including 63.5m @ 0.30% Ni and 0.51% copper

including higher grade mineralization such as 4.5m @ 0.81% nickel and 0.70% copper. Drake has completed nine holes to date

with intersections within 200m of surface & amenable to open pit. The intersections are analogous to intersections at First

Quantum Minerals’ recently commissioned Kevitsa Project in Finland.

Drake completed modelling of the Granmuren deposit based on diamond drilling results and geophysics data. The model is not

of sufficient robustness to reveal potential tonnages, however it provides an indication of the potential for Granmuren to be a

significant source of mineralisation.

Regional targets

Within the Bergslagen region, two survey lines, 150m apart for the Drake ground EM survey, identified a conductor associated

with a 1.4km long airborne magnetic anomaly identified from government data over the southern quadrant of the Korsheden

license area. The Ni-Cu target is in an area of gabbro intruded into metasediments and as such has strong similarities with

Drake’s Granmuren Ni-Cu prospect 50km to the South East. The area maybe a classic Ni-Cu (-PGE) system.

Korsheden was one of five areas identified as high priority targets for Granmuren type mineralisation in a regional targeting

report by Dr Grguric commissioned by Drake in 2014. The report goes on to suggest Bergslagen is of the right age,

mineralisation and structural setting to potentially host substantial nickel discoveries.

Program

There has been no systematic exploration for nickel in all of the Bergslagen Province. However, the Granmuren discovery has

shown that deposits similar to economic mines in Finland exist in the Province. Consequently the main objective of a future

program in this region is the identification of additional drill targets to complement the mineralisation already found at

Granmuren.

In early 2014 Drake Resources engaged nickel experts, Mineralium Pty Ltd, to conduct a regional target review of the

Company’s Bergslagen asset portfolio. Key findings of the report include:

The inferred age of Granmuren mineralisation is within an episode of Earth’s history in which many of the world’s major nickel camps were formed (1.88 – 1.86 Ga)

Local deep structures/terrane boundaries such as the Gävle-Rättvik deformation zone exist in the region; nickel deposits tend to be associated with large, crustal scale structures

There are abundant sulphur-bearing rocks in the regional supracrustal sequence, providing the conditions in which nickel/copper sulphides could concentrate and precipitate to form massive sulphide.

Combining the above with demonstrated presence of nickel /copper occurrences across Drake’s portfolio, all point to the area having the potential to contain a world class nickel camp.

Drake has already located a new drill target at the Korsheden Prospect. The future program to identify and test new targets will

include:

Fly VTEM electromagnetics over prospective areas; this will be the first part of an ongoing program.

Drill test the Korsheden target.

Based on the cash flow forecasts and other factors referred to in note 1a.ii of the financial statements, the directors are

satisfied that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate. In particular, given the Company’s history of raising capital

to date, the Directors are confident of the Company’s ability to raise additional funds as and when they are required.

Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its

liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different to those stated in the financial statements. The

financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts

or to the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern

and meet its debts as and when they fall due.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements For the Half-Year Ended 31 December 2016

NOTE 1 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These are the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes of Drake Resources Limited (Drake Resources or the Company) and controlled entities (collectively the Group). Drake Resources is a company limited by shares, domiciled and incorporated in Australia.

The financial statements were authorised for issue on 13 March 2017 by the directors of the Company.

a. Basis of preparation

This interim financial report is intended to provide users with an update on the latest annual financial statements Drake Resources Limited and controlled entities. As such, it does not contain information that represents relatively insignificant changes occurring during the half-year within the Group. It is therefore recommended that this financial report be read in combination with the annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2016, together with any public announcements made during the half-year.

i. Statement of compliance

The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The half-year report does not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and shall be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report.

ii. Going concern

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

The Group incurred a loss for the half-year of $738,066 (31 December 2015: $3,564,230 loss) and net cash out-flows from operating activities of $250,680 (31 December 2015: $510,892 out-flow).

As at 31 December 2016, the Company a working capital deficit of $706,451 (30 June 2016: $185,556 working capital deficit).

Included in current liabilities are unsecured convertible notes with a face value of $150,000 which mature on 18 March 2017 and secured convertible notes with a face value of $175,000 which mature on 21 December 2019.

During the half year, Trinity Corporate Pty Ltd (Trinity) issued a statutory demand upon the Company claiming immediate payment of $66,000 for unpaid fees under the Company’s corporate advisory mandate with Trinity. Subsequent to balance date, Trinity agreed to withdraw its statutory demand against Drake. Orders giving effect to this agreement were made by the Supreme Court on 8 February 2017. Drake has reserved its position in relation to its legal costs as part of the orders.

The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon the ability of the Company to secure funds by raising capital from equity markets and managing cash flow in line with available funds. These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast which indicates that the Group will have sufficient cash flows to meet all commitments and working capital requirements for the 12 month period from the date of signing this financial report. In particular the Company:

has been advised by convertible note holders that it can that immediately access $300,000 of the remaining $1,000,000 committed to (before costs) via convertible notes;

has put in place plans to raise $1,750,000 (before costs) by way of issue of 175,000,000 shares on a post consolidation basis as detailed in the notice of Annual General Meeting.

Based on the cash flow forecasts and other factors referred to above, the directors are satisfied that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate. In particular, given the Company’s history of raising capital to date, the Directors are confident of the Company’s ability to raise additional funds as and when they are required.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements For the Half-Year Ended 31 December 2016

NOTE 1 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different to those stated in the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or to the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and meet its debts as and when they fall due.

iii. Accounting Policies

The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in this interim financial report as were applied in the most recent annual financial statements.

b. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The critical estimates and judgements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the 30 June 2016 annual report.

i. Key Judgments – Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation costs are carried forward where right of tenure of the area of interest is current. These costs are carried forward in respect of an area that has not at reporting date reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. The carrying value of capitalised expenditure at reporting date is $1,079,351.

During the half-year, the Group undertook assessment of its tenement assets. As a result of this assessment, the Group decided to impair some of its exploration assets. Refer Note 5.

c. Changes in accounting policies, accounting standards and interpretations

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2016. All applicable new standards and interpretations issued since 1 July 2016 have been adopted. There was no significant impact on the Group.

Impairment of exploration assets from continuing operations (220,649) (1,187,119)

Carrying amount at the end of the year 1,079,351 1,300,000

On 30 June 2016, the Company received an independent valuation report it had commission from Al Maynard and Associates. The valuation of its Scandinavian exploration assets was determined to be $1,300,000. The value of the Group’s interest in exploration expenditure is dependent upon the continuance of the Group’s rights to tenure of the areas of interest, the results of future exploration and the expected recoupment of costs through successful development and exploitation of the areas of interest, or alternatively, by their sale.

During the half-year, the Company’s leases to three non-core tenements lapsed, the carrying value ascribed to these tenements, as a result of the aforementioned valuation, was $220,649. Accordingly, the Company has written-off this balance in the current period. In addition to the expiration of non-core tenement, the Board has considered impairment indicators and confirm that no such indicators were applicable during the period ended 31 December 2016. As such, the Company does not consider that a full impairment test is necessary.

The Group’s exploration properties may be subject to claims under Native Title (or jurisdictional equivalent), or contain sacred sites, or sites of significance to the indigenous people of Australia or other lands. As a result, exploration properties or areas within the tenements may be subject to exploration restrictions, mining restrictions and/or claims for compensation. At this time, it is not possible to quantify whether such claims exist, or the quantum of such claims.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report To the Members of Drake Resources Limited We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Drake Resources Limited (“the Company”) and Controlled Entities (“the Consolidated Entity”) which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, a statement of accounting policies, other selected explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration of the Consolidated Entity, comprising the Company and the entities it controlled during the half-year. Directors Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2016 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of the Consolidated Entity, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report. A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report To the Members of Drake Resources Limited (Continued) Independence In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. Conclusion Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Drake Resources Limited and Controlled Entities is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: a. Giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2016 and of its

performance for the half-year ended on that date; and b. Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations

2001. Emphasis of Matter Without qualifying our conclusion, we draw attention to note 1(a)(ii) of the half-year financial report which indicates that the Consolidated Entity incurred a net loss of $738,066 during the half-year ended 31 December 2016. This condition, along with other matters as set forth in note 1(a)(ii), indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Consolidated Entity to continue as a going concern and whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the half-year financial report.
